Hi Drapsheik,
To the issue your concerned about: I didn't respond to it because I didn't feel it needed to be. The above posts detail exactly what happened. Based on the player you're referring to he deserved to be banned. After Staff conferred about the situation we came to this conclusion. The evidence necessary for such a ban was detailed by the posts above as well. The player in question intentionally exploited a bug in the 'Process-of-Security' to gain an unfair advantage. He admitted and gloated about it. On top of this he spread false information, i.e. saying in a Video he published that these said items were given to him by a GM when instead he exploited a bug behind the GM's back, which is also bannable by the rules, i.e. the spreading of false information intentionally, as well as non-cooperating with a GM. So in sum you have three Rule-Violations, each of which alone constitute Account Deletion: Spreading False Information Intentionally, Non-Cooperation with a GM, and Exploitation of a Bug to gain unfair advantage.
If you're puzzled by the confusion from multiple Staff decisions which were at odds, in a short amount of time mind you, it's like at a Sporting Game when referee's decide to convene together after a disagreement on the call of play. After convening they discuss what they all saw and understood and a new conclusion from the pooled information is reached. Personally I rarely buy into conspiracy, I'm much more partial to Occam's Razor. Conspiracy requires far more brainpower and resources than convoluted forces that we are so often susceptible to, i.e. imperfection.
I'm sorry if you wanted a Response sooner but I, like the rest of our Upper Staff am very busy. I can't always give a response immediately as it takes time. As far as CM's like CM Jaym. Her job is not a gamemaster, nor is it to ban people, nor is she privledged to this kind of information of the doings and goings of Dura. Her job is Community Manager. She helps give support and maintenance to the community, as well as flavor, which in the context of this Forum are snapshots of what is going on in Dura's community.
Best,
Aris
